- Invited talks are 30 minutes including questions; titles are being finalised and will be updatred soon
- Contributed talks are 20 minutes including questions
- There will be two half-afternoon slots for organised debates and discussions. A number of possible arguments will be selected by the SOC and will be circulated to the participants before hand to select the most interesting ones to be held.
- Poster presenters:
- info regarding poster size and poster-panelID assignment are available at the "Poster Instructions" page.
